Good to know

'Lagoon' is the second of three custom-built, cleverly themed boutique micro apartments located on the second floor, a part of the 'GREEN ROOMS'. The daringly green-painted apartment, with toned-down lagoon-themed wallpaper, can be fully or partially segregated into two different areas - kitchen/living and bedroom/laundry. The four fluted glass stackable sliding panels can be moved to reveal spaces or to close off the areas completely for a little more privacy. Follow us for more on what our place is all about: @greenroomsbraddon There is one queen-sized bed and a King Living sofa-bed in the kitchen/living area that extends electrically to a king-single bed. PLEASE NOTE: Sofa-bed linen and an extra set of towels will be supplied only when you book a 3rd person for your stay. If you would like the extras supplied without the 3rd person booking there is an additional linen charge of $50. Please let me know when you book that you would like the additional linen. The ducted air conditioning will ensure you stay comfortably cool or cozy through all of Canberra's seasons. There is on-street free parking in the cul-de-sac and on the main street. Plus you're smack bang in between two tram stops about 350m from your doorstop in both directions and electric scooters are never far away. BEDROOM / LAUNDRY: The queen-sized mattress sits on a custom-built bed base with a paneled green velvet bedhead. The bed base has inbuilt soft close draws at the end and open shelf storage along the side. The bed sits snugly against the fluted glass sliders, which can be left open with a view to the smart TV or closed if you want to separate the spaces. There is a floor-to-ceiling window facing towards the City to the right of the bed. The window looks out to the treelined street and is finished with a roller blind and sheer textured curtains so you can create the light to suit your mood. There's another floor-to-ceiling narrow window that faces west and is fitted with a black-out blind, helping to control the heat and blocking out the light when you need those extra Z's. At the bed end side, is a purpose-built suitcase storage shelf, topped with a stone benchtop. Above the bench hangs two brass hanging rails, for you to hang clothes for your stay, or to spread your things out a little when you're trying to decide on your outfit. Behind the rails, is a wide, full-length mirror plus a Remington Jetsetter 2000 (2000 watts) hair dryer. There is a Bosch washer-dryer combo under a stone benchtop and overhead cupboards equipped with laundry essentials and a steam iron. Also included is a safe if you want to pack away certain belongings when you're out and about on adventures throughout the Canberra region. KITCHEN / LIVING: The living area features a beautiful King Living sofa-bed, in a soft dark grey fabric. The sofa cushions can be moved or removed to create the ultimate comfort position. For a little bit more space (or an extra person), you simply hover your hand over the side button and the sofa electrically extends the seat deeper to a king-single bed. Sofa-bed linen and an extra set of towels will be supplied only when you book a 3rd person for your stay. If you would like the extra’s supplied without the 3rd person booking, there is an additional linen charge of $50. Please let me know when you book that you would like the additional linen. Let the light stream in through the floor-to-ceiling narrow window, or shut it out using the black-out blind. It's easy to lose time if you're staying in, watching literally anything on the 4K high-def, 43-inch Smart TV. But if you're not in the mood for watching TV, just log into your fave music app, and play your favorite tunes while you relax. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need to cook up your faves. Cooking utensils, baking dishes, beautiful serveware plus the essentials like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, tea, instant coffee, and sugar. There's an induction cooktop, and a combi oven which you can bake and reheat in. There's a full-sized dishwasher, an integrated half fridge (please note there is no freezer), and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods. If you're dining in, one of the two side tables will have you covered to eat your delicious cook-up. WORKSPACE: If you need to get on your laptop for a few hours, the side table is a height-adjustable laptop table. You can sit and work from the sofa or adjust it to a standing height to work from anywhere in the apartment. BATHROOM: The bathroom features a gorgeous free-standing pedestal basin with brass tapware and a floor-to-ceiling narrow window with a block-out blind. The decent-sized shower comes with a monsoon shower plus a handheld shower head. Stocked with hand and body wash, plus lotion and Monday shampoo and conditioner.

Other Details to Note

PARKING: There is no dedicated car park for this micro-apartment. There is free 2-hour on-street parking on the street the apartment is on. We've never seen the parking monitored and our guests park there with no problems. However, if you prefer, there is a public car park adjacent to the apartment for $7.50 per day parking rate. STAIR ACCESS ONLY This is not an accessible apartment. It is not suitable for people with accessibility issues. ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: We own a fully restored, custom-designed 1966, 13-window, double-door VW Kombi. It's painted Gulf blue in a matt finish with Champagne colour feature accents and a tan leather interior. It's one of a kind, and a bit of a local rockstar here on the Streets of Braddon. If you want that bit of extra attention when you show up to an event, or you need a ridiculously cool transfer to or from the airport, or you're just keen to explore the Canberra wine region and enjoy the ride too, we have a bunch of packages that will no doubt help to create a memorable stay. Holla if you're interested in getting more info and pricing when you book.

Neighborhood

Braddon is Canberra's most densely populated suburb, so it's no surprise that the lifestyle and entertainment options in Braddon are thriving. Braddon is home to arguably some of the best coffee in Canberra. Even the most particular of coffee connoisseurs will be impressed by Barrio Collective Coffee, on Lonsdale Street and Lonsdale Street Roasters. Also on Lonsdale Street is a slew of bars and restaurants, with spots along this strip topping many of Canberra’s ‘must-visit’ lists for brunch, breweries, vino, and vibes. Staying right in the heart of it all guarantees you’ll never be bored — with different spots for date night every day of the week, there’s no reason to venture beyond Braddon. Particularly worthy of mention is Bentspoke, which is consistently named as one of Canberra’s best microbreweries, eightysix restaurant, and our favorite, Corella. You’ll see plenty of impressive street art along the roadside buildings and several yoga studios and modern gyms, art classes, and music schools all located in Braddon. Haig Park comes to life every Sunday with the Haig Park Markets. From live music, delish street eats, fresh produce, and everything in between, it's a must-do if you're in town over the weekend. When you want to head out but don't want to get right into it on Lonsdale Street, The Howling Moon is at the end of the street, right next to the Astin apartments. It's a rooftop bar with arguably one of the best views across Canberra. You can settle in with a bottle of wine or two, get some snacks or drop in for a main meal.

Guest access

Stair access only. You'll have access to the entire 1 bedroom micro-apartment.

I was in town for a conference and Jacqui’s place was absolutely perfect. Easy to walk into town and a great launching pad to head out on several day trips. Great price and super clean and convenient.
